Article on faulty masks and tests from China. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52092395 These kind of articles really worry me because while it's one thing to report a story, it is a completely other when innocent Chinese decent people are taking the brunt of the anger. Sure there are bad people who take advantage of situations but that is in the case of any race. Think of the story where a man in NY bought up all the hand sanitizers so he could sell it at a premium. Does that make all people of his race as bad as he is? There are Chinese Americans who are being attacked on the streets and sprayed with Febreeze on the subway. I talk to my family regularly and there has been a lot of anger directed to the Chinese Canadian community and they don't have anything to do with it. They are as scared and angry as anyone else. I sincerely hope that when people read these stories, they can direct thier anger to the people who did these bad things and not towards the race of people this person happens to belong to.

Me_ Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 45 minutes ago, Heretic said: I guess Trudeau listened to the "experts" for this as well? LILLEY: MPs take a pay raise while raising your taxes during a crisis Talk about being tone deaf. MPs, who fled Ottawa over concerns about COVID-19 on March 13, will pocket a pay raise on April 1, the same day many Canadians will be wondering how to make rent or mortgage payments. It’s also the same day the carbon tax goes up. How’s that for a double whammy? MPs currently have a base salary of $178,900. That doesn’t include their housing allowance for their time in Ottawa or the per diems that they get to cover meals while on government business. It doesn’t cover extra pay for sitting on a committee, chairing a committee or being a cabinet minister — that will net you an extra $85,500 yearly. Well, add another roughly $2,800 to their annual salaries. For the Prime Minister, who earns double what an MP makes, his annual salary of $357,800 is about to go up by almost $5,700. Now in the grand scheme of things where the government was sending money out the door faster than they could print it even beyond the COVID-19 crisis, this raise doesn’t add up to much. In light of the COVID-19 crisis, it makes no sense and has them all looking a little out of touch. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seemed surprised that the annual raise would be an issue when I asked him about it on Monday. “I haven’t heard the Parliament of Canada having those discussions, but I’m sure they will reflect on it. Now that you’ve asked the question,” Trudeau said. Doubtful. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-mps-take-a-pay-raise-while-raising-your-taxes-during-a-crisis But carry on thinking that Trudeau is a great Prime Minister. I’m very sorry there are no more white giraffes for you to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushed my son to ER at 3 am once....didn't grab my purse, just keys, son and goooo! Realized I was "locked in" the parking lot...no way to pay/get out. An ambulance was leaving and the driver offered to let me out that gate or I would have been hooped. So dumb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Trump mused about putting a quarantine around New York it sent people in a panic. People started packing up their things and leaving. He’s shown he simply cannot put aside his own pettiness and do his job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
